What’s inside?
In this supplement, you’ll find eight pregenerated Tier 4
player characters, all level 18, with instructions on how
to level them up to 19 and 20. These include the four
pregenerated characters found inside Uncaged: Goddesses
(fighter, cleric, rogue, and wizard) and four additional
pregenerated characters (druid, bard, paladin, and
warlock).

Each of these pregens was designed to be fun, balanced,

and as simple as we could realistically make level 18-20
characters, so any table can jump in and start playing the
adventures in this book. Because Tier 4 characters can
get complicated, we’ve formatted them as stat blocks for
